Anj where 'does ode find a traCtet several hundred or thousand kilometers from home on the eve of a big competition? This is a problem that will face p number of competitors, some, coming from as far away - as. Europe, at the International Plowing Match just outside Winghana this fall, and Neil Mc- Gavin of Walton is,the man in charge of solving it. Mr. McGavin, whose father, Gordon, was a pist president and. • director of the Ontario Plow- men's Association, heads up the tractor committee for IPM, '78, Foremost among his committee's responsibilities is the job of find- ing equipment for use by plow- , men who travel long distances to. the match. ' It's not as big a job as it used to be, Mr. *Gavin noted last week, but it does have its unique pro- blems. Match plowing has become quite on art and a very compe- titive one — with the result that most competitors try to bring their' own P'equipment to the match. Specially designed plows are used, with long moldboards to give neater furrows, and a ploW- man farrtiliar with his equipment can ilia about make 'the plow talk. On the' one., hand" this reduces the demands on the tractor com- mittee: Mr. McGayin estimates he'll 'have to dime up with• 20 tractors while a few years ago it would have been 50. On the other hand, however, it makes things a little more demanding .since not jgat..,,any tractor will do. A plowman ,who can't bring his 'own equipment will want something as nearly identical to his own as possible so he's not plowing at a dis- advantage with unfamiliar. equipment. , When a competitor sends in his registration to the OPA Toronto he will state whether or not he needs a tractor and specify Sheep Show and SaleJune 1.7 The Zone 3 Ontario Sheep A'ssociation Show and Sale will he held on Saturday, June 17th at the 12:0.P.

They make every effort to give 'a person his first preference but if that's inmossible he will have, to settle for one of the other two. The tractors are all borrowed from local farmers so it helps that Mr. McGavin and several of his, committee' members are farm equipment dealers"; they have a pretty good idea who •has what kind of tractor. The committee includes Art Bolton of Dublin, Mae Inglis of Clifford, Don McDonaid, Jack 'knight and KenAnnes of Brus- sels, Jerry PriOstner of Lucknow, John Radford of Londesboro and Morris Hallahan of Blyth. When the committee locates a tractor it can Use it gives it .a thorough going-over to make sure it's in good shape and arranges pickup and delivery for it. While at the match the tractors will be kept in a guarded impound area just across the highway from the tented city, , The committee's responsibility for providing.equipment is pretty IMO limited to tractors, Mr.. McGavin said. The plowmen will either contrive to bring their own plows to the match or will arrange for a plow through their dealer network, which is a good thing Since •the cost of match PlOwn runs around $1,900,.

"There have been a great many inquiries into , , the food industry over the past 40 or so years", she added, "and reach ,time those inquiries have run amok on the basic lack of information existing on how ex- tensive these (rebate)' types of practicesl• are and what their effects- are, on . producers, con- sumers,competition among pro-' cessors, retailers, etc." i Also before the.
